More impressive details about the testo 885 thermal imager and its compatible lenses

Process analysis package (optional): the combination of fully radiometric video and sequence capturing in the camera enables wireless measurement and easier handling at the measuring location

Thermal sensitivity < 30 mK = so that even the smallest temperature differences can be seen

You can also choose to save thermal images as JPEGs

Lots of camera angles are feasible without any problem: thanks to the ergonomic rotating handle and the rotatable, fold-out display

Panorama image assistant: straightforward recording and evaluation of the entire outer shells of buildings rather than the tedious evaluation of individual images

SiteRecognition technology: immediate identification of similar measurement objects and automatic assignment or archiving of the thermal images

Optional high-temperature measurement up to 1,200°C: with the high-temperature option, the measuring range can be flexibly extended up to 1,200°C

Special measuring mode for detecting areas susceptible to mould: the dewpoint in the room is calculated by manually entering the ambient temperature and humidity. The dewpoint is then compared with the surface temperature value measured by the camera. Traffic light colours (red, yellow, green) on the display indicate the risk of mould

The optional radio humidity probe makes things easier: automatic transmission of readings means that manual input of humidity and ambient temperature is no longer needed

FeverDetection (optional): use the assistant to check people for high body temperature in public places and in means of transport – for public health protection

Lens exchange possible

Voice recording possible with headset

Integrated digital camera with power LEDs: take real images to go with every thermal image – well-lit thanks to power LEDs. This makes assignment of the thermographic images significantly easier

Auto-focus for one-handed operation and to prevent blurred images

Minimum focus distance 10 cm

Professional software testo IRSoft: allows the thermographic images to be analyzed on the PC

LensesIn addition to the super-telephoto lens, in this kit you are free to choose two additional lenses from a total of 3 that are available:

5° x 3.7° super-telephoto lens (included in the kit):

Small field of view (5° x 3.7°) for maximum resolution of particularly distant objects

Easy to handle: no additional lens holder needed

30° x 23° standard lens (optionally included in the kit as a second or third lens):

Ideal for inspecting closer measurement objects

Large field of view

25° x 19° lens (optionally included in the kit as a second or third lens):

Ideal for use in applications involving preventive maintenance

11° x 9° telephoto lens (optionally included in the kit as a second or third lens):

Makes it possible to take outstanding images of measurement objects at medium and longer distances

Checking as part of electrical maintenance

In electrical installations or cables, increased temperatures are always an indication of an overload, an imminent malfunction or an existing defect. Testo thermal imagers facilitate evaluation of the heat status of low, medium and high-voltage systems. Thermographic images lead to the early detection of defective components or connections, so that the necessary preventive measures can be introduced in a targeted way. Thermography therefore minimizes dangerous fire risks and prevents costly production downtimes.
Typical applications for the thermal imager:

Checking switch cabinets

Checking electrical connections

Monitoring and checking photovoltaic systems

Checking as part of mechanical maintenance

Analysing building shells at a glance

The task of taking thermal images of large buildings poses several challenges for users. Spatial restrictions due to walls, roads or safety zones around neighbouring buildings can make it impossible to capture the measuring object in a single image. In such cases, Testo thermal imagers help users obtain the necessary overview. The panorama image assistant can be used to combine several images of the building shell taken at close range into a single thermal image. Users can therefore identify thermal irregularities at a glance across the entire building shell with a high degree of detail.

Providing comprehensive energy advice

In building thermography, infrared technology is particularly suitable for quick and effective analysis of energy losses in buildings’ heating or air conditioning systems. Thanks to their high temperature resolution, Testo thermal imagers provide detailed images of inadequate insulation and thermal bridges. They are ideal for the recording and documentation of energy losses on outer windows and doors, roller blind casings, radiator niches, in roof structures or the entire building shell. Testo thermal imagers are the perfect measuring tool for comprehensive diagnosis and maintenance uses, and whenever providing energy consultation services.

Making it possible to see critical temperatures on circuit boards precisely

In the field of research and development, thermal imagers are also used for the targeted analysis of temperature distribution, e. g. on circuit boards. Electronic components on circuit boards are getting smaller and smaller – thus increasing the challenges with regard to heat dissipation. Only premium-quality thermal imagers with a really fine geometric resolution are suitable for this task. Analysis of the heating and cooling behaviour over time is also helpful for optimisation and this can be carried out using the Testo thermal imager's video measurement

Monitoring and checking solar energy systems

There are two main reasons for inspecting solar energy systems: safety and performance monitoring. Solar energy systems achieve their top performance in full sunshine. Testo thermal imagers can be used to monitor photovoltaic systems of all sizes in a way that is wide-ranging, contact-free and exceptionally efficient. Malfunctions are detected, the proper functioning of all components is ensured and the greatest possible efficiency is thus achieved. Additional reliability is also achieved through the ability to enter the key measurement parameter of solar radiation intensity: the value entered is stored with the thermal image and is then available for the image analysis.

Reliable high temperature measurement

Testo thermal imagers adapt to the requirements for applications with high scene temperatures. With the high temperature option, the measuring range can be flexibly extended up to 550 °C . The high-contrast presentation on the display is achieved via the high-temperature iron HT colour palette or the special histogram adjustment.
